Ever imagined what the ideal soundtrack to the series ‘Preacher’ would sound like? Far from the diabolical grandeur of his main band, with Me And That Man, Behemoth’s frontman Nergal goes back once more to his grassroots in the sophomore record to the Americana fueled. ‘New Man New Songs, Same Shit, Vol.1’.
King Dude, the enfant terrible of the current dark folk scene returns with ‘Full Virgo Moon’, a minimalist, mystifying record.

On September 6, a scorching hot Indian summer’s day, The GRIMM Rider rode out once again and went back in time to the eighties. The 1880s, that is, for a sold out evening of bluegrass and country with the Tejon Street Corner Thieves and The Dead South at OLT in Antwerp.
Our site is dedicated to everything rock and metal with a few sidesteps in music that appeals to the same music fans like synthwave, neo (pagan) folk, industrial,… But some of us do have a taste for music and art that goes beyond these limitations. Enter “GRIMM goes rogue”: where you’ll get a metalhead, punker, rocker,… who ventures into realms beyond their usual habitat with an open mind and give their honest opinion, views and experiences.

Swapping his patch filled denim jacket for a Stetson, your resident cowboy got on his horse and headed down to that gambling den of mischief known as De Casino in Sint-Niklaas for a country filled evening with the likes of the Bones of J.R. Jones and The Devil Makes Three. Let’s Ride. Yihaaaa!
Cowboys, vikings and pirates: a night any geek/kid would drool over came to live! Alestorm, Skálmöld and Bootyard Bandits blew the roof off Nosturi!
